Mountain makes a great point maybe worth re-echoing. Earth-Muffin-Cyclist types are surely a larger group than MBc-ers, and not only that, they seem to be somewhat zealously organized and poised for advocacy, daring the world to just give'm an issue to get all up in spandex-clad arms about.
The other thing, I think, is that any advocacy they undertake may get added weight and visibility from all the regular, casual bicycles out there. I imagine there may be about as many bikes out there as cars...of course, it's only a small fraction that are used for commuting or regular, meaningful transportation.
I wouldn't want to see them starting to target us as a menace -- it could begin with a letter to the editor in a bike mag, and go from there....
